While the tide is slowly starting to turn against the psychotic builder, Nicola – along with Seb and Gary Windass – are keen to see it happen a lot quicker, before Phelan adds to his body count.
While Nicola had won Phelan over with her convincing doting daughter act, the twisted murderer became suspicious when he overheard Faye Windass booking a cab to Nicola’s flat.
Nic had been shady about letting her dad in her home and decided to follow Faye.
It was only Nicola’s quick thinking by distracting Phelan with a panic about her unborn baby that stopped him discovering Seb.

Pat seemed blindsided when Nicola let him hold her hand during an emergency scan, and he had his first glimpse of his soon-to-be grandson.
Nicola’s fast actions weren’t enough to put Phelan off the scent though and next week he does some plotting about his daughter, starting with making a copy of her flat keys without her knowing.

There’s a really terrifying moment when Phelan lets himself into Nic’s flat and is outraged to see Seb there. Only Seb doesn’t have a clue he’s been found as he’s got his headphones in and is oblivious to Phelan even being there.

Later Nic takes a call from the police about an intruder being in the flat and a terrified Seb wonders if Phelan is behind it.

Nicola tells Gary that Seb thinks Phelan has been in the flat and, at the mill, Gary is left stunned when Phelan reveals he’s onto them. But they soon hear that Nicola has been rushed into hospital after collapsing in agony.

At the hospital Phelan rounds on Gary for coming between him and his daughter, while Gary hits back calling Pat a liar and a murderer.

When Nicola is out of danger, Phelan asks to speak to her alone – but what does he want to say?
